When used effectively, it clarifies goals, strengthens skills, and promotes a mindset of continuous improvement. For students, feedback helps them understand exactly where they are in relation to the learning target and what steps they need to take next. It closes learning gaps, corrects misconceptions, and prevents errors from becoming ingrained. Meaningful feedback also boosts motivation by highlighting progress and growth, which builds confidence and encourages students to take ownership of their learning. Over time, students begin to internalize this process, developing metacognition, independence, and the ability to self-monitor their performance.\r\n\r\nFor teachers, feedback serves as a crucial tool for guiding instructional decisions. By examining student work and responses, teachers can identify patterns of misunderstanding and adjust instruction, pacing, or grouping to better meet student needs. Feedback also strengthens lesson design by helping teachers refine strategies and ensure a clear alignment between goals, instruction, and assessment. In addition, receiving feedback from colleagues or instructional leaders supports professional growth by encouraging reflection and improving classroom practices. This ongoing exchange of feedback enhances teacher-student relationships as well, creating a classroom environment where students feel supported, valued, and understood.","fullyFundedDate":1757423295555,"projectUrl":"project/feedback-is-essential/9545117/","projectTitle":"Feedback is Essential!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Song","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10093190_orig.jpg?crop=1200,1200,x0,y192&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754775689711","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10093190"},{"teacherId":790851,"projectId":9693071,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible support, our classroom is transforming into a hands-on indoor garden where learning truly comes alive. The hydroponic system, potato grow bags, romaine lettuce seed pods, and soil will give my third graders the opportunity to experience science in a meaningful and exciting way. Instead of simply reading about plant life cycles, students will observe them daily—seeing roots grow, leaves form, and vegetables develop right before their eyes.\r\n\r\nThese materials allow us to explore essential science standards such as plant needs, environmental factors, and sustainable food production. Students will take ownership of caring for our classroom garden, measuring growth, making predictions, and recording data in their science journals.
